This is a really small Chinese/ Japanese restaurant. If you want a quiet, peaceful and clean place to eat at, this is your right spot. They do have a sushi chef there so it's pretty neat to see them prepare your sushi right in front of you. I've tried their Chinese food, it's your regular Americanized cheap/ greasy/ easily prepped Chinese food. But the best thing about them is their sushi lunch special. For under $8 you can get two rolls with a decent variety to choose from, and your pick of a soda or Miso Soup. I'm a snobby sushi eater, so I can tell when it's good sushi or not. Terryin serves middle grade sushi. Great affordable find in the heart of South Philly! read more

Thank you fellow YELP-ers for helping find this place!!! This place was exactly what I was looking for! Great quality sushi @ reasonable, VERY REASONABLE prices. I've ordered from them several times, for delivery, and have not had one issue with them. Food is ALWAYS good. One time, I needed to order a party tray of sushi, but wanted it at a time when they weren't open for business yet. But, they had made an exception for me. That, my friends, is what keeps me coming back for more. KEEP IT UP! read more

Great Japanese/Chinese spot with cheap sushi. Their sake selection isn't half bad either. I remember when they first opened and went there with my friends when we were younger. It's kinda dim inside, I don't know about how it is now though. I liked their sushi and as Darlene said, it's inexpensive. So us being kids and having a Chinese/sushi spot in South Philly was a no brainer for us. We basically went there every other weekend to hang out and eat. I definitely have to go there again with my old friends to reminisce. Really great sushi that's inexpensive and luckily for me, near my house. read more

Good sushi at a great price. Friendly service. The atmosphere inside could be much nicer, but it appears they do almost entirely take-out and delivery. I'll be back - a lot! read more

Is it the best sushi in the world? No. Is it really solid, decent sushi? Absolutely. Sushi in South Philly that is actually decent ... who would have thought? Their Chinese and Thai food is solid too. The Chinese in particular is much better than most suburban places, although that may be too low a bar. Orders usually delivered pretty promptly. read more

was on the hunt for an easy / not too fancy sushi dinner with my husband and we came across this on snyder and saw some pretty good reviews. we were the only ones in the place so i feel like we had a pretty great experience, the phones were ringing a ton so i feel like the business here has to be pretty popular. since we dined in we got to experience the cucumber water, which is super refreshing! we ordered edamame which was also pretty good (a little salty) and some sushi, which came surprisingly fast. everything was really good, i will say the only complaint was we never got a refill on the water and sometimes wasabi can be pretty dehydrating but other than that for quick and easy sushi this place did really well! read more

I'm just a new guy from the town, and I just found this sushi place take out its so good! they always deliver fast as they can,sometime if they came so late ,the guy always saying sorry sorry LOL,it's good sushi alright. read more

I can't praise this place enough!!!!! The sushi is fresh, plentiful, and priced well!!!!!!..... The people are wonderful, sweet and remember you. I wish I lived closer....... I live in Kensington without a car and will gladly make the trek to south philly for this place!!! It is the BEST SUSHI IN PHILLY!!!!!!!! Décor is casual and the bathroom is something to experience in the winter! :) read more

I downloaded this app to my tablet just to contribute this review, this is my first, I felt it my duty. If this had been my first time having sushi, it certainly would have been my last. The tuna rolls looked and tasted as if they were taken from a can that was left open in the fridge over night. Honestly they looked like bad pate'. I am not a sushi snob, although I do like good food...this was neither. We took 4 bites of various rolls and threw a$45 order in the can. I really wish there were a lower rating read more

I've lived around the corner from this sushi bar for five+ years and I must say, this is a great place in the most unusual location. The exterior of the building is not something to write about, but the interior atmosphere is refreshing to say the least. You wont find better sushi at such a price anywhere else in Phila. So if you have a craving and a tight budget, you might like to give this place a try. read more

This is my go to sushi spot in the neighborhood. Rolls are fairly priced yet tasty and elaborate. I recommend the dynamite roll if you're looking for a less traditional but more deep fried sushi treat. PS delivery is fast and the delivery guy is very friendly! read more

We have ordered from Terryin many times and have favorite dishes that we order but tonight's delivery time was too much. It took two hours to arrive. Do not order after 6:30pm. read more

nice price . greater sushi lunch special in southphilly. delivery always on time, food always good. good food

Update on my earlier review. I am no longer crazy about their shrimp egg rolls or their shrimp fried rice BECAUSE they changed the shrimp! The same type of shrimp is in both of these items and I don't care for this kind of shrimp at all. The shrimps they "used" to use in these 2 items were nice and white and delicious........sad they changed them. read more

Delicious sushi and fair prices. Super fast delivery service even when it was snowing! Also have eaten in the restaurant and staff was very friendly and welcoming. read more

great, affordable sushi place. i come here all the time with my friends! good service too. my only complaint is that my friend ordered a sashimi dish and the chef sent out a frozen piece of fish...not cool. we sent it back and they apologized. i just thought it was strange the chef would sent it out at all. try the rock n' roll roll...its AWESOME read more

After reading the yelp weekly email "Yelpin' In the Raw" this morning, I found myself grocery shopping in South Philly. I got a craving for sushi and remembered Terryin from the email this morning (thanks Yelp email!). So after a little detour, I found a parking spot right out front (which is always a plus in South Philly). When I went inside, it was just me, the sushi chef and a server, so I pulled up the first seat at the sushi bar. I looked over the roll options for the lunch special (3/$10.75, 2/$7) and ordered the tuna, salmon, yellowtail rolls and miso soup. The miso soup was ok, but the rolls were very good, the fish was fresh and the rice was a bit sweeter than I am used too, but I like it since the rolls I ordered were so plain. I was impressed when i saw the size of the rolls, usually single fish rolls are small, and short on protein, but this sushi chef wasn't shy with the seafood. When i saw him lay out the fish for the rolls it brought a smile to my face. The only drawback to Terryin is the ambiance. It has gray painted walls with no decorations, so it isn't the fanciest of joints, which I didn't mind at all since I was getting lunch by myself, and there was no music playing. I wouldn't suggest going here on a date, but if you want some good sushi for a great price, give Terryin a try. read more

Just an Update: We brought in a party of 11 and our own bottle of sake and the staff was extra AWESOME about it. The whole dinner took up about 2 hours and we left full and happy, also a few minutes later than closing time. They never rushed us. So, they do large groups well AND its also a BYOB. read more

Never ordering from here again, food got her pretty close to when they said they would but half wasn't even hot. Boneless spare ribs are usually one of my favorites, they may have ruined it for me, over cooked dried out no flavor. General tso might have been good if it was hit and spicy like I ordered it but it was soggy and cold. Fried rice was soggy yellow and more like over cooked much. Called they apologize said they would remake it. They Call back 20 minutes later saying no we'll be out there to give your money back. Sooooo 2 1/2 hours no food waiting and waiting they eventually come by right before closing so I can't order food from another place. Will not be ordering from here EVER again.TERRIBLE CHINESE FOOD read more

My boyfriend and I were a little skeptical of this place due to it's not so favorable location. However, one day we gave it a try and we are so very thankful! I think Terryin's chinese offerings are much better than the sushi. Their orange chicken is the best I've tasted in this city. So crunchy and flavorful. This alone makes me such a huge fan! The sushi is not bad but not amazing either. Terryin is now my go-to place for convenient and delicious chinese food! read more

I've popped into Terryin several times for takeout and have never been disappointed. They offer a good variety of options, but their Chicken Mei Fun and Crab Rangoon game is particularly strong. My order's always ready on time, and staff is very nice. South Philly takeout staple!!! read more

I think Terryin puts crack in their sushi, because I AM ADDICTED! It's both a blessing and a curse that I live close by, because I order take-out from Terryin way too often. Their sushi is the best sushi I have ever had, their prices are great, and customer service is good. I've also tried their shrimp pad thai which is delicious. I can only speak to their food and take-out service, so I don't know what the dine-in experience is like...but if you're looking for delicious, affordable, sushi, this is definitely the place to check out. read more

Some of the best takeout ever! They always make everything to order fresh and its consistently delicious. Orange chicken and the avocado salad are my favorites! read more

great hidden gem in the neighborhood you wouldn't imagine the sushi there could be so good. I traveled to Philadelphia from San Diego for the weekend and just wanted to find something close to the ballpark. Terryin was such a great find via Yelp. The sushi is yum and the eggdrop soup is one of the best I eve tasted. read more

Love this place & it's BYOB. Owner and workers are very nice and friendly. Me and my best friends would come here about 2 times a month. Foods very good and cheap. Our all time favorite dishes samurai tray , beef chow fun , crab Rangoon and friend dumplings . read more

This place use to be awesome but I've noticed the decline in the quality of their food. The beef and broccoli I ordered was ridiculously fatty, the vegetables were mushy. The sushi use to be pretty good but the quality of that has also taken a dive. I got a little sick off of one of the rolls. Please don't skimp on the freshness. This place use to rock! What happened? read more

I ordered 4 rolls from here tonight and it was disgusting enough to compel me to call and complain for the first time in my takeout history. The fish was so meely and foul smelling on the specialty roll that i spit my first bite out. I should have trusted my instincts and not tried it at all. I ordered vegetarian rolls for my boyfriend, and they were wilted lettuce wrapped in dirty tasting rice. I contacted them and they said there is nothing they can do because they use fresh ingredients. I was very polite and really just wanted to give them a heads up that their sushi was inedible, a term i do not use lightly. Regardless of when they received their ingredients, the sushi at terryin was such an uneaten waste of my 35 dollars. read more

Hot damn, this place is official like a ref with a whistle. I'll preface this review by letting you know that although I'm moving to Kensington next month, I will definitely be making the trek to the Deep South for this place. I only wish I had tried it sooner! I came here after (long after) it came recommended by Timothy D. It's a no frills Chinese food/sushi bar. I was greeted by the two sushi chefs who were throwing together orders with great speed and precision. I took a seat at the sushi bar and browsed the menu for a minute even though I pretty much knew what I came here for. I went with 2 pieces of maguro and 2 pieces of unagi and a small order of General Tso's chicken with white rice. I know, a Japanese sushi order and one of the most Americanized Chinese dishes there is. While the one chef started on my nigiri the other guy went and prepared me some tea. The sushi was nice and fresh and of course well prepared. I even think the wasabi may have been actual wasabi and not horseradish with food coloring (though I'm not really 100% sures). About 10 more minutes passed and my chicken came out of the kitchen. I'll be honest, it's not the greatest I've had (Lakeside Chinese Deli, how I miss thee), but it was better than any other jawn down in South Philly I've tried. My only complaint? Not one, but two Eagles songs were experienced playing during my visit. This was easily remedied by taking another piece of unagi and placing it in my stomach. read more

I love this place! It's my go-to in the neighborhood for takeout. It's so cheap and so so good. Delivery is actually pretty fast too!

I'm a sushi lover,there house has the best sushi I had so far,good choice.fish is so fresh,rice is so tasty.i love this place！:D

So my wife and I went for lunch a few weeks ago and I'll say the food was not too bad. We both had the lunch specials (she had the two roll, I had the three roll) which came with Miso soup and salad. We also ordered the Tempura appetizer which came from the basement which was a little weird. It was not crowded and the food came out quickly and the service was very good. I'd probably go back again. read more

I'm kind of really on the fence about this place, which sucks because I live two blocks from here and having a sushi place that close to my house is basically a dream come true. I just, ugh, I guess I caught this place on a bad day. So after a total night of debauchery, I some how got convinced that raw fish would be the best hangover cure (note: it is not but that's not a reference to this place). I had been meaning to try it because several people had told me it was pretty good. My group of 7 showed up about 15 minutes after they had opened and they clearly didn't look prepared for us. Whatever, I take forever to set up the restaurant at my job too. The server was nice and gave us ample time to decide on our meal without hovering. The menu looked really good, and they offer a LOT of maki rolls both raw and cooked, as well as ample Chinese food selections as well. I went with the Philly roll and the crunchy spicy tuna roll lunch special deal (2 rolls and miso soup or a soda can for less than $8!), and shared the crab rangoon appetizer. The crab rangoons were good, but then again you can't really screw up pre-cooked and deep-fried things. The sushi was pretty decent, actually. It wasn't the most amazing thing in the world but I would definitely be perfectly content ordering it again. Everyone else seemed to like their food too, and it was all fairly priced. Unfortunately, the service is where things fell apart and subtracted from what would've been a 4-star rating. I feel like the server got disorganized because things were kind of in disarray. She forgot to bring out my miso soup, which I did promptly get after I asked, and she also neglected to tell the sushi chef to plate certain rolls separately. Two of my friends ordered the spicy crab roll, and both rolls came out on a plate containing the sushi order of someone else at the table. Another roll was completely forgotten as well. Paying was also complicated because we were told that we couldn't use multiple credit cards, which would've been nice to known at the beginning of the meal. Finally, I was kind of looking forward to having a hair-of-the-dog cocktail since their sign advertises it to be a bar as well, but as we walked inside there was a sign saying that their liquor license was sold and it was now BYO. Again, that would've been nice to prior to going so we could've stocked up. I feel like this place really needs to get it together in terms of organization but they just don't seem to care much. Luckily their take-out business seems to be doing better than their actual service so I definitely see myself getting food to go over dining. After all, when it comes to sushi in this part of the city you can't really be that picky. read more

Ordered sushi off of grubhub. Spicy crunchy salmon roll was raw when it was under the California roll on the menu. I can't eat raw fish, called them to explain and they argued with me and still charged me for it. It may have been my mistake to assume it was cooked by it being grouped with the cooked rolls, but common courtesy would be for them to NOT give me an attitude when I call to explain how it is confusing. Also the spare rib tips were hard as a rock and the shrimp and egg rolls were dripping in oil. Lost me as a customer. read more

Don't be deceived by the looks. This place makes awesome sushi and the manager/sushi chef are very nice. Amazing prices and good sushi.

Terryin is my middle-of-the-road sushi place. It's definitely not fancy, but it's good and affordable. They have a bunch of different specials you can choose from, and a lot of non-sushi dishes for those who aren't into raw fish. The people who work there are super nice, and I've never had a single mistake in a delivery order. Delivery is usually around 45 minutes on a weekday, maybe a little longer on a weekend. I've only once had a bad experience there, out of probably the 25 or so times I've ordered from here. I'd say that's pretty good. read more

Always a great take out experience. Love the sesame chicken and fried rice. Large selection of options

Ok. Never eaten in the restaurant, but have had their delivery several times both Chinese and Japanese. It inexpensive, good quality, and taste great. Delivery for a fairly large sushi order was an hour, but I know seems long but well worth it. Highly recommend if you are at home sick and need food or just hungry for Asian fare. This is a little South Philly treasure. read more

Ordered for delivery from this place before. I was sitting with my cousin eating and I'm focused on my sushi all hungry and such, I ask "what did you get?" He was silent then goes "A f**kin hair in my sushi!* I look up from my sushi rolls and sees a long strand of hair. I was shocked. He called the place up to complain and he was mortified for eating half of it. They re-delivered but after this, they stopped delivering such far distances into South Philly. 2 Years Later, decided to give it another shot. A strand of hair will be easier to complain about in the actual joint. Went there on a rainy friday night with a friend because we were craving sushi. Found parking on the block. It was pretty empty, but we were seated in the back by this middle aged asian woman with a ponytail. She seemed nice at first. Gave us our menus and came to ask if we were ready after 2 minutes of sitting down. We hadn't checked the menu yet. Wondered why she came over so fast when the place was empty. I don't know. Well, she gave us our water. When she took our orders, she didn't understand what I was saying so she repeated things very fast and arrogantly. This look of anger came across her face and I'm just like "wow this woman is really yelling at me right now" my friend just gave me this look like "yeah..why did she just yell at you like that?" I had no clue, anyone know? Let me know. She's lucky I did not take offense to it. You don't yell at your customers if they're asking a simple question about the menu and they don't get what you're saying. I found that very rude. However, the rest of the stay was fine. I had my night to enjoy and not let all this ruin it. I tipped 15% because I was yelled at. I consider that generous. I'd say the food was fair for the price. Tried King Dragon roll, not too shabby. Especially in South Philly. I don't think I will be going back though. read more

I'm giving this a high review because of price & proximity. I love not having to go into Center City for sushi! The rolls on the 3-for-$10 are tiny unless you get handrolls -- it feels like you get more fish. The specialty rolls are great & priced just right. If given the choice between Terryin & Vic's, I'll pick sitting comfortably at a table rather than waiting 20 minutes for a barstool any day. read more

It's not bad per se, but it's redundant. Everything has the same brown sauce on everything. The "sautéed" broccoli is the same broccoli that's in every other dish, with the same jarred, thanksgiving, brown gravy and oil. read more
